Hello Josh,Because of the nature of orthography, it is impossible for many languages not to use eight-dot Braille. Many languages have several unique characters (accents, umlauts, etc.) and it is impossible to represent all of them using just a six-dot matrix.

Hi I installed the multilingual braille tables for mac and then tested it with some greek text on the web that I made google translate produce. My question is why does all the greek text use eight dot braille? same for hebrew, arabic and other languages? I wish there were a way to tell voiceover not to use eight dot braille at all sometimes like a checkbox or something.
